Elephant and Castle shopping centre. Pretty dire. Brixton. Actually, everywhere in South London except Peckham Rye.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

Booked a hotel in neasden for my London trip after being assured I would see the "authentic" London. It's a violent grimy dump. Eat like the locals means salmonella chicken and battered dog legs.

Why did you book a hotel in Neasden? I've not been there after many years in London .

Brunei was shit too. The only cultural attraction is a building that's called a museum but is actually just a place where the Sultan keeps all the things he's bought, and he lets people look around it

He doesn't let them do much else though. Never seen so few people out and about in a capital city. They were probably all sat at home avoiding being beheaded.

Completely agree. Add Shirebrook and Skegby in there too.

I agree that North Nottinghamshire is not an uplifting place to be.

I was pleasantly surprised by Hull, but I like a bit of maritime industry. I also had a wonderful shopping trip to Leeds about 25 years ago, so I've always had a positive image of it Grin

I've been to Dubai about 6 times (not vacation), and hated it with a passion.

Topeka, Kansas, is a tough place to be, imo.

Brussels - the walk from the train station to our hotel was so sketchy and it was so dirty. (We were staying in a 5* star hotel, but the train station is in such a rough area). A week later there was the 2017 terror attack at the same station.

Lived there as a teen. Never considered it a particularly sketchy area or station.

Egypt.

The men. Awful.

I got called all sorts of names because I didn't buy something or let someone clean my shoes or take their taxi.

One man actually followed me on a path in the middle of a deserted island in the Nile. I did a 180. He did the same. I then yelled at him. He finally went away.

Morocco, all of it.

Downtown Los Angeles. Sketchy as fuck! Also Hollywood boulevard. But Santa Monica & Malibu were lovely.

Whitby. Stank of fish and chips all day, full of dogs and their turds.
Plus the worst hotel I've ever stayed in.

I agree! I'll add Manhattan Beach as a nice place, too.
